GroupNutjob "I think he was ..... um....exploiting"


GM "thats awful if this is true I am sorry you had to witness such a horrible act. thank you for reporting this I will observe him myself

15 minutes later ......

GM "After looking into the problem I have found out that player is just a better play then you. L2Play."


Fix'd

Guess it can go both ways...

 

because soloing is so hard? here lets give mobs with basic attack power and defense, minimal HP and spells. because we wouldn't want to make it too hard or else the soloers would get their ego hurt.

LOL

Here lets talk about things we know absolutely nothing about and pass them off like they are real facts.

aw how cute come to defend his lack of skill, I know plenty about soloing because unlike the elite soloers I take part in all the pillars of  a MMO and not just pout and cry my way through a game in one.

 

I'm not defending anything. At no point in time has any defense shield been brought up to protect anything from the likes of you. I'm not even sure to what magnitude you could pose a threat to other than yourself. All i was simply saying was... Quoting from your previous statement was that you merely have a basic idea of what the combat system is let alone what mobs attack power and their HP. So now that i have written it out in crayon for the simple minded maybe now you will understand what i say. You don't know what you are talking about.

Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.

Not hard at all, actually grouping is just as easy. I was just showing you It could be said both ways, but of coarse, you didn't get it. Let's play out a scenario.

Group Play

Tank keeps agro and puts out some DPS, most of the time lead the group and have control of placement of mobs

Dps will DPS, without drawing agro, knowing thier skill rotation to maximize DPS

Healers spam heals. as well as buff and debuff mobs if need be, again without overagroing

Players will avoid boss abilites. use crowd control, pick up adds/pathers

Solo Play

players pull mob and faceroll or even auto attack thier way to victory.

 

 

 

 Fixed for you!

you don't even have to dodge boss attacks as a soloer because they are so insignificant that most can just take them. the only thing i worry about when i solo is "hope i kill this mob fast enough so i can chain pull".

as for what game i play, i spend most of my time in EQ2, though have been dabbling in AION.

Lack of skill? What gives you that idea.

And what MMO do you play out of curiosity.

 


 

In order to have an effective/popular solo game, you must reduce the difficulty of mobs and encounters.  If they are easier then by default they require less skill.  Saying you can solo in any modern mmo is hardly a reflection of skill.

Ok?

Thanks for your input. But what exactly means I lack skill without knowing what game I play currently. Please tell me, I'm curious.

 

pretty obvious that in pretty much any game you play now the solo mobs have very little attack power, very little spell damage, very little HP or Defense. they are made so that pretty much any class can kill them with ease. so if any class can kill them its come down to the lowest common denominator and when it comes down to that, it's the epitome of easy.

Nice way to evade the question, you insist I lack skill because I enjoy solo play, what you may not know is I enjoy grouping as well, I'm just not narrowminded and can see why people want solo play.

Also, I'm not currently playing a MMO. Go figure.

 You SHOULD be worried about group play. In games that are 95% single player, groups don't often happen. Not in the MMO sense. There might be a zone or two not instanced where you can do like, FPS matches in an arena or something, but no true MMO.

I don't know what's funnier, you thinking all that goes on in group content, or you playing AION.

even if half that went on its still more skillful than facerolling over easy solo mobs, and all that DOES happen in group oriented content. im sorry if your WoWified games don't have all that you're missing out.

you should try to play Aions group content and NOT do all that i listed. then you can cry about how much you pay in soul healing like all the other scrubs.

Still droning on about non-sense? I have no interest in a metrosexual angel game, it seems to suit you, enjoy it.
